Winemaker's note
The Château de la Soujeole is located on the terroir of the Malepère Appellation, bounded on the West by Castelnaudary, on the East by Carcassonne and on the South by Limoux. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate with strong humid oceanic influences from the west, providing this soil an exceptional ecological entity, well known botanists who mix plants and shrubs, various species, Mediterranean and oceanic. The vineyard, located near the famous medieval city of Carcassonne is cultivated biodynamically. The Grand Vin is a selection of the best casks of the château.
Winegrower's note
The harvest is manual with a sorting done at the plot and the cellar. The grapes are de-stemmed then in vats to be vinified in traditional maceration. Each plot and each grape variety are vinified separately. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. At each stage from the aging to the bottling, special attention is paid to respect the rhythms of biodynamics.
Tasting notes
Ruby colour. On the nose, blackcurrant and black fruits notes with a hint of chocolate and mocha. Fairly concentrated with powerful, wellintegrated tannins. Nice freshness on the finish. Tasty, complex with notes of barrel ageing very well integrated, concentrated and long wine.
Food and Wine Pairing
To pour at 16°C, it pairs with grilled meat or in a sauce, also very well with the traditional dish of Carcassonne: the cassoulet.
We found our new favorite poolside sip! La Grande Bleue Méditerranée, an organic wine made with 5 artfully blended grapes, takes us back to this past summer's adventure in Languedoc, France. The crisp taste is perfect to enjoy on what has been an exceptionally hot summer in both Southern California and Southern France! Thank heavens for La Grande Bleue!!
Our family has a tradition of "Laundry Room wine". It is wine of a high caliber that we hide in the laundry room and only tell a select few about. Those who have a discerning appreciation for tasty wines! Blanc Gris quickly became a "laundry room wine' after my husband and I discovered it on our recent vacation to the Languedoc region of France. I brought it to share with my daughter and sister-in-law who greatly appreciated this addition to our Laundry Room Wine List
I love this sparkling wine! I first tasted it on a Carnival Cruise and I have been in love ever since. I do not drink any other alcoholic beverage. I ordered three bottles and will be ordering three more! Order yours today!!! You will not be disapointed!!
I ordered this at a restaurant last summer and finally ordered a few because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I enjoyed it. It Came packaged beautifully!
The wine was smooth yet complex and very satisfying to keep in the mouth for a few swirls. Delightful to know that Gérard Bertrand’s growing methods are sustainable and mindful of taking care of the land.
I am beyond pleased with the wonderful product and amazing service. Shipping was so fast and packaging was strong and secure. So thankful that they shipped my order via UPS. I love the wine. I can’t find this wine in a small town I live close to. Will definitely buy from this company for sure. Highly recommend!
Thank you
I didn’t get what I ordered, I got a sparkling wine instead and I sent an email explaining that and I haven’t received an answer. I want the wine I ordered please.
I can not find this wine locally, but the nearest Costco carries it around Christmas. I think it is the perfect summer wine. It is light and not very sweet; and the bottle is exquisite. I will order again before the summer is over, I am sure.
